Minneapolis Police Department
Police say a 27-second body camera video of the killing of Dolal Bayle Idd in Minneapolis shows that Idd shot at police first as officers tried to box him in with patrol cars in a parking lot, but his family and protesters are continuing to demand answers about what happened.
Idd, a 23-year-old Black man, was shot at repeatedly while in his car in the parking lot of a gas station on Wednesday night. In Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed by police in an incident that sparked massive protests and reignited a nationwide movement against police violence, protesters took to the streets for two nights in a row asking what led to the deadly shooting.
Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder said the 27-second video, as well as the slower version, is the only footage the department will be releasing at this time, citing the ongoing investigation. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is retaining other videos from the Dec. 30 incident, he said.
